The 7 salient points made in the unanimous SC Bench judgement scrapping electoral bonds:
1)Financial support via electoral bonds to political parties can lead to a quid pro quo arrangement.
2)The electoral bonds scheme is not the only scheme to curb black money. There are other alternatives.
3)Infringement to the right to information is not justified by the purpose of curbing black money.
4)Not all political contributions are made with the intent to alter public policy. Students, daily wagers etc also contribute. To not grant an umbrella of privacy to political contributions only because some contributions are made for other purposes is not impermissible.

The voluminous Economic Survey robs the relevance of this exercise. Instead of informing the people about the state of economy and future direction for recovery this is self congratulatory based on dubious reasoning.
There’s no recognition of the humongous economic recession. Focus is on ‘regression’ which is due to the pandemic.
ES is a propaganda & spin exercise obfuscating disastrous government policies.

Such gross misrepresentation vindicates the decision to boycott this address.
These “important farm bills” were passed in a din, not allowing any discussion, negating voting & suspending MPs who demanded a vote.
All this in a tearing hurry in the midst of a raging pandemic.

The three farm laws must be immediately repealed. The PM must make the announcement. (1/n)
The situation has been brought to this pass by the Modi government. Farmers have been protesting peacefully in the cold for more than 60 days, not allowed to come into Delhi and more than 100 Kisans are dead. (2/n)

1. Indian economy has plunged into a severe recession. Crores of lives are destroyed. Modi government can no longer be in denial. 2. No revival is possible without strengthening people’s capacity to spend.
